Products for Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

There are a range of products available which can help with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) symptoms which fall into a number of classes:

Vitamins and Minerals

Phyto-oestrogens and other herbal products

Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring plant estrogens that may help relieve some PMS symptoms. They are found in tofu, tempeh, soy milk and other soy foods. A range of soya supplements are also available which can be a more convenient way of accessing the benefits of phyto-oestrogens. The phyto-estrogens help to balance your hormones, and also support your immune systems, and prevent or ease the symptoms of the menopause and osteoporosis. The phyto-estorgens contain active chemical constituents such as isoflavones, coumestans and lignans, which work as hormone balancers; phytoestrogens both exert mild estrogenic effects themselves and compete with more potent steroidal and environmental estrogens for "receptor binding sites" on cells.
